The Historical Roots of the Kingdom of God offers a clear and compelling exploration of biblical history and Jewish traditions that have shaped the concept of the Kingdom and the expectation of a coming Son of God. From the earliest moments of divine preparation to Israel’s covenant identity, priestly reinterpretations, and the struggles of exile, this concise yet profound work traces how hope for God’s reign and messianic deliverance grew stronger over the centuries—until the stage was set for Jesus’ revolutionary proclamation.
